fell in love with a girl at the rock show for the “Social Media” prompt from @sledgefuweek 2023.

“Me and M, my possible future girlfriend if we ever get to reconnect.” “Oh, so she’s not just a hot concert makeout anymore. She’s your future girlfriend now? You’re really further gone on her than I thought Gene.” In which Gene and Merriell are lesbians, meet at a concert, and promptly forget each other's names the day after.

Merriell was rightfully pissed. The half-smeared off name in black Sharpie that had previously and very clearly ran up her forearm the night before was practically mocking her in the mirror, where Burgie’s somewhat cowed expression stared right back at her from the bathroom door. And it wasn’t because Burgie hadn’t written the name down correctly, no, it wasn’t that. Merriell had a very vivid memory of a cute, freckle-faced red head purposefully spelling out her Instagram handle to Burgie very carefully, even going so far as to check over the spelling herself.

So, no, it wasn’t that Burgie had fucked up the spelling. It was the fact that Burgie had spilled beer all down Merriell’s left side on their way out of the concert venue. Beer mixed with Sharpie made for a now smeared Instagram handle that Merriell could barely make out. There was a “ge” at the beginning and another “ge” at the end, but the middle bits were all too smeared to read properly. 

Merriell’s eyes flashed up to meet Burgie’s in the mirror as she gestured at her arm. “Fucking for real, Burgie?”

“Look, it’s not like it was on purpose! I said I was sorry Merriell, I mean, we were on our way out of the pit and you know how it can be leaving with such a big crowd. And we both had a couple of drinks.”

“Yeah, we sure as shit did have a couple of drinks, same as Florence. But I ain’t the one that dumped an entire beer down your side and washed away the only contact I had for quite possibly the cutest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

Burgie tilted her head to the side in curiosity. She hadn’t realized that Merriell was that interested in the woman from the night before, though she really shouldn’t be surprised, not with the way the two had clearly hit it off during the show. There was something to be said for relationships forged in the pit, after all.

“Well, did you get her number?”

Merriell let out an annoyed hiss as she scrubbed a hand over her face, running it through her dark curly hair. “No, I didn’t get her number,” Merriell said, irritation evident in her voice. She grabbed a rubber band off of the counter and used it to pull her hair up into a messy top knot, not wanting to bother with it at the moment. “Remember my phone died?”

Sledgefu week day 5: memories

find me a memory for the "Memories" prompt from @sledgefuweek 2023.

“Can I help you with something?” “Yeah, you can.” “You look real familiar. We know each other from somewhere?” “No, I don’t think we do,” he said, wanting nothing more than to say that they did. “Maybe you’ve seen me around campus?” In which Eugene is immortal.

Read on AO3 - Short preview below the cut

He lived near enough to campus that getting to class was usually no hassle, able to walk most days. And with a new found love in this life for coffee on the go, especially the further into each semester the year took him, Eugene frequently stopped in a local place for a cup before or after class — sometimes both.  

But if someone had told immortal Eugene Sledge, who’d seen the worst and best sides of humanity, that his entire existence would be rocked to its core while waiting to pick up his flat white for the day, he’d not have believed them one bit.

Which is why, as Eugene stood just a few feet away from the pick up counter in the cozy, modern coffee shop scrolling through emails, he didn’t notice the man who was about to change everything. 

The man, with sharp blue eyes and black curly hair that was swept back over shaved sides, stepped into line. A dark green messenger bag was slung over one shoulder and he was dressed mostly in black, with pops of silver here and there — on his hands in the form of rings, pierced ears, and an obnoxiously bright pair of socks peeking out from the tops of his shoes. He ordered and quickly paid, shoving his wallet back into a pocket before he turned, catching sight of Eugene where he was leaning against a column, a button-up worn loosely with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a well-worn pair of black skater shoes.

Now there was a sight he thought he’d never see again.
